Slide 2

Greenhouse Effect Caused by absorption of IR by C=O, C-H and O-H bonds- bonds vibrate more and molecules gain Kinetic Energy which increases the temperature of the gases They can also transfer the kinetic energy to other molecules in the atmosphere by collision, so the whole atmosphere gets warmer. These gases are called greenhouse gases! Depends on the concentration of the gases and its ability to absorb infrared radiation. Affected by how long the gas remains in the atmosphere…read more

Carbon Capture Storage CO2 can be liquefied and injected into rocks beneath the oceans CO2 can be reacted with metal oxides to form carbonates Statoil, in Norway, has 13m tonnes of CO2 has been extracted directly from the Sleipner gas field since 1996 and buried it in undersea reservoirs.…read more
